Hon. Bashir Usman Waziri has expressed profound appreciation to members of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), youth stakeholders, and supporters across the country for the increasing calls, messages, visits, and endorsements urging him to contest for the position of National Youth Leader of the party.

Waziri's response comes amid a recent public appeal by the ADC Media Alliance (AMA), which described him as a leader with the experience, integrity, vision, and capacity needed to reposition the party's youth wing and strengthen grassroots mobilization nationwide.

In a statement made available to journalists, Waziri thanked Nigerian youths for the confidence reposed in his leadership and reaffirmed his commitment to advancing the interests of young people within the party and across the country.

"I sincerely appreciate the growing calls, messages, visits, and expressions of support encouraging me to remain steadfast in the service of Nigerian youths and to consider the responsibility of serving as the next National Youth Leader of the African Democratic Congress," he said.

According to Waziri, the overwhelming support reflects the desire of young Nigerians for purposeful leadership, unity, and collective engagement at a time when the nation is facing significant socio-economic challenges.

He noted that the strength of the ADC lies in the cooperation, commitment, and active participation of its members, particularly the youth population, stressing that unity remains essential to building a stronger and more successful political movement.

Waziri stated that he and his team remain committed to following due process and maintaining the principles that have guided their leadership engagements over the years.

"We are focused on consistency, discipline, and grassroots engagement. Our commitment has always been to provide direction and solutions for young people. The youth constituency deserves leaders who remain focused on their mandate and are not distracted from their responsibility to serve," he said.

The youth leader further emphasized the importance of continuous consultation with stakeholders across the country, adding that meaningful grassroots interactions remain critical to generating ideas and practical solutions to the challenges facing Nigerian youths.

The endorsement by the ADC Media Alliance had highlighted Waziri's track record of service, leadership qualities, political maturity, and dedication to nation-building, describing him as one of the most qualified personalities to lead the party's youth structure at this crucial period.

The group also noted that ADC youths across the nation are yearning for purposeful leadership, unity, direction, and renewed energy, adding that Waziri possesses the competence and character required to strengthen grassroots mobilization and project the ADC as a party of the future.

Responding to the growing momentum surrounding his possible emergence, Waziri maintained that leadership positions are ultimately determined by God.

"Almighty God is the owner and bestower of every position and leadership responsibility. We remain grateful for the confidence and support of our people while continuing to serve with humility, dedication, and sincerity of purpose," he added.

He called on Nigerian youths to remain hopeful, united, and actively engaged in the democratic process, assuring them that their aspirations for a better future remain at the heart of his commitment to public service.

Political observers believe the increasing endorsements and support for Waziri signal growing confidence in his leadership credentials ahead of decisions regarding the future direction of the ADC's youth wing.
